By
virtue of attending St. Michael’s School (Ingoldisthorpe, Heacham &
Hunstanton) you are a member
of the Old Michaelian Association (OMA).
Our Membership is solely
about our Shared Past, unique Experiences &
Friendships,
whether we see each regularly, occasionally, or infrequently.
We can share Anecdotes, Do
you remembers, I wonder where and
what so and so is doing, Did
you hear abouts, etc..
We have an
active and thriving
Association but we have one insurmountable
problem – that since the
school closed in July 1969, we have no NEW “Old
Michaelians” (OMs). So, what
we have, we must hang onto, if we wish the
Association to continue to
exist. We are still in touch with over 100 OMs
and what is now a very small
number of former teachers and other staff.
We
are very fortunate to be able to boast that OMs still meet regularly
in
October
(The weekend clocks go back), some 79
years after the school was founded and 56
years
after it
closed. In the past there was
a membership subscription to cover the costs
of producing and sending out
newsletters, etc., but now that most of us
have email addresses we are
able to send things out without any cost.
To stay vibrant the OMA, we
need your support and
please
don’t worry of you
haven’t been in touch or come to a Reunion for some while – you will
always be welcomed and,
hopefully, be
pleasantly surprised
when you do
and that you will enjoy
yourself.
THE OMA IS YOURS/OURS, PLEASE
DON'T LOSE IT BY
NEGLECT
Reunions
I'd
like to remind you all about how important Reunions are.
We might not, initially, recognize each other, as
some of the old boys have lost
their hair or
have extremely wide partings and some have put on a little weight.
As for the
girls, we are as beautiful as ever! name badges supplied at
the Reunion, This has to be seen to be
believed,
so please make
an effort to join us.
It is wonderful to meet the same faces every year
but we would like to see
more OMs “make
the pilgrimage”. It really is good fun and, of course, none of us
has actually
aged at all.....that is from a distance of at least 500 yards!!!!!!
Please do come along, even if you haven’t
been for a while.
